Finished revising one of the color pieces for Ollie And Logger, which is the first dummy book I’m polishing up for submission (my New Years’ resolution due date: April 1st!). And… well… it’s an improvement. I’m happy with Logger, the brown turtle, since he’s in the style of the first color piece I revised. But wow, painting a plastic bag floating in the ocean is CRAZY hard!!
I heard a quote recently of an artist who wouldn’t accept any manuscripts that contained “horses or bicycles” (smart move). Well, from now on, no more stories about amorphous objects in water, either. Just say no.

Looks awesome! I definitely think that addition of the subtle redish line on the plastic bag helped a lot and the dark blue accent around it. Plus Ollie and the Logger look smashing darling!
Excellent illustrations. Both have strong elements.
